Of course it was still a little unsettling for our newly diminished little bo because, like all Liberals, he never expected the results of his efforts to improve the world to impact HIM! Still, that setback didn’t prevent him from following through on another aspect of his prime objective; sure enough, Barry also seized the day by utilizing his legendary negotiation skills to strike a historic (natch) U.S.–China climate change deal:

President Barack Obama announced Wednesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping that the U.S. will cut its 2005 level of carbon emissions by 26-28% by 2025 while China committed to begin reducing its emissions footprint by 2030.

That’s right! And that’s why Big Guy’s “negotiated” settlements around here are called “how about I give you my brand new Mercedes for one of your old shoes” deals. With this one however, BO scored a twofer: not only did he strike a blow against man made global warming climate change butt he also managed to make a giant stride “forward” in the fight to achieve income equality around the globe.

Just think - someday when you show your grandchildren pictures of how great American cities once looked:

A sunny day in Chicago and New York

you can tell them that they can thank America’s Last Black President for finally leveling the global playing field and firmly closing the door on the “American Century” thus flinging the door wide open for the “Chinese Century.”

Soon we’ll all be able to enjoy a sunny day the same way they do in Shanghai (L) and Bejing (R)

We will discuss other aspects of how the door closes later this week when I pick up the topics of “Amnesty by Pen and Phone” and Field Marshall Gruber’s explanation of how to win the hearts and minds of stupid Americans.
